Corned Beef and Red Idaho® Potato Salad
Did you know the classic Irish-inspired Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe did not originate in Ireland? It actually originated in America by a group of Irish immigrants in the early 1900’s. Over the years it has become one of the most commonly served dishes across the United States on St. Patrick’s Day. Food blogger Coryanne Ettiene’s Corned Beef and Red Idaho® Potato Salad boasts a flavorful twist to this classic dish by adding Idaho® potatoes and a Shanagarry dressing made with egg yolk, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and cream. We guarantee your friends will be amazed by the flavor of this dish. Irish or not!

Ask Dr. Potato
Q: Some of my stored potatoes are sprouting. Will removing the sprouts from the stored potatoes increase their storage life? The storage area has no light, is kept at 48°F and has fairly high humidity.
A: Even in the best of storage conditions, potatoes will eventually sprout. If allowed to continue as-is, the sprouts will grow and draw upon the moisture content of the potato. By removing the sprouts now, the potato will not dehydrate nearly as quickly. So yes, by removing the sprouts and continuing to store the potatoes away from light, unwashed and in the 48°F area, you will optimize the potato storage period. But don’t wait too long. Prepare and enjoy those wonderful Idaho® potatoes tonight! (And don't worry, we’ll grow more!)
